Some OF the leading merchants OF The
place whose business extends largely into
Clarendon county, and who realize the tact
! that the rINEs is the best medium through
which they can reach their patrons, have
sent their cards for insertion. This IS done
that the people may not forget that Sumter
! offers Inducements far greater than any
town in the low country for the fal! trade.
Her merchants buy and sell for cash. Their
patrons are therefore placed at considerable
! advantage over those who deal with the
! knights Of the Lien or credit system. Their
customers are not taxed with high prices,
large commissions, short time and "b!g in
tereSt," but be they rich or poor, for a dol
lar tnev get a dollars worth. Each has his
| full stock Of one particular line Of goods,
and not handful Of every different article
making in all warehouse Of everything.

SUmter is q Young man whose father estao-
lished = business here in 1918, and soon af !
;eryards died. The mother and little boy
continued the business, made money, and
to-day there is nota more enterprIslng and |
successful merchant in Sumter than
FRANK j. O'CoSSoE.
IN edition to his large bakery, he runs
magnificent store on Main Street loaded |
down with .ull line OF Family Groceries,
Fruits. Confectioneries, etc, and offers great
inducements to the Clarendon trade.
Cotton IS pouring in, ana the most OF 1t IS
bought By
CAMPBELL ScCsBs
the cotton buyer. He does not merchandise. |
There IS no trading out, but pays 'spot !
casa" leaving the farmer to buy what he
pleases or carry his money home If ne pleas
eS. Those WHO have small Or large lots OF
cotton and do not wish to haul It to Sumter,
can briog sample with receip from Railroad
agent, and Get their money here as though
the cotton was OF the market; or by telc-
sra ohing Nr StUobs, he will send q man
who will gCaran:ce Sumter prices and buy
the cotton at any adjacent depot. This VIII
be appreciated b~tke farmers Near Manning,
no doubt, where there are no buyers. Thank
